rpm will tell you:
======================================
RPM build warnings:
source_date_epoch_from_changelog set but %changelog is missing
RPM build errors:
bad date in %changelog: Tue Fed 28 2023 Steve Dickson
<steved(a)redhat.com> 1.2.6-4.rc2
======================================
It should be Feb, not Fed.
Sometimes you just need a second pair of eyes! :-)
A strange way to say there is an invalid date...
But thank you... very much!!!
Tip: Always use rpmdev-bumpspec (or %autochangelog); never write the
changelog %entry manually.
I will definitely look into this...
Thanks again!
